The BlizzCon 2018 Closing Ceremony features a mini music-festival with Train, Lindsey Stirling, and Kristian Nairn performing on different stages inside the convention center at staggered times.\r\rBlizzard traditionally books one band for the Closing Ceremony on the Main Stage and they're trying something new this year. Do you prefer this music festival format instead with performances around the convention center?\r\r\r<p>Every BlizzCon, we\u2019ve closed out the weekend with a musical performance\u2014but this year, we won\u2019t just have one live band; instead, <em>three <\/em>diverse musical acts will perform live in our own BlizzCon mini music festival featuring <strong>Train<\/strong>, <strong>Kristian Nairn<\/strong>, and <strong>Lindsey Stirling<\/strong>!<\/p>\r\r<p>The closing festivities will begin around 7:30 p.m. with a sendoff from Blizzard.

Train? What grave did they go dig up to find them? lol. This is an odd line-up\/format this year. I love Lindsey and I've never really heard Kristian's stuff. But I've heard he's decent.

Love Train! I would actually watch the closing ceremony now. What can I say? I'm not a big heavy metal fan.

And WraithArisen, you actually said that? What about Ozzy Osbourne? Dear god, that man is as old as Methuselah.

Heh, my \u201c...\u201d commentgot deleted.\r\rLet me elaborate: not excited for the artists they have lined up. It really is too bad, every other year has been pretty good.

Welp, there just went the last\/only remaining reason I might have spent money on a virtual ticket this year. Just huge disappointments all around. I hope they've got some really cool stuff to unveil for the people paying to attend, cause so far this whole event feels like a letdown. Get it together, Blizz.

I'm thrilled by all of this, variety is nice, gives a better chance that everyone can find at least one performance they'll enjoy. Personally, I like all three!
